Because of this?
NFHS 4-4-3: Ball Location: A ball which is in flight retains the same location as when it was last in contact with a player or the court.
NBA and WNBA make the interpretation perfectly clear.

Why can't the NFHS?
Why do we need a special "note" for dribbler near a sideline or an endline, but not for a dribbler near the division line?
If NFHS 4-4-3 Ball Location is our "support" for a backcourt call, wouldn't NFHS 4-4-3 Ball Location also cover a dribbler near a sideline or an endline?
Then why even have a special "note"?
Let's keep it simple and assume that a "dribble" is not an interrupted dribble.
That's a whole different bag of worms in a can.
